First 10 weeks only.
This class is centered on the two major international crises
presently facing the United States. More specifically, it deals with
how the present administration has dealt with the pacification of
Iraq and Afghanistan (War on Terror) and its ramification for
domestic politics.
By taking this course, students should be able to connect how these
international issues affect the daily lives of Americans.
Furthermore, how the daily lives and habits of Americans affect the
world. This course does not assume prior knowledge about U.S.
political institutions and political debates. However, it seeks to
promote active thinking on these issues.
